Making Ag cost effective
Increasingly capital-intensive farming is leading to crushing debts for farmers.
Natural Farming solves this using practices researched+validated by our agronomists and today, widely promoted and run through our local women cooperatives, with an objective of making agriculture sustainable by:
Natural Farming solves this using practices researched+validated by our agronomists and today, widely promoted and run through our local women cooperatives, with an objective of making agriculture sustainable by:
- Biological Brewing: Use of pesticides and fertilizers synthesized locally using biological means, developed ourselves in association with leading research institutes.
- Building resistance to pests through healthy micro- climate and soil environment.
- Forestation drives and Intercropping with mutually beneficial plants.
RESULTS: Cost of agriculture is reduced by upto 30-40%, chemical usage down by 33% and it allows our partner women cooperatives to generate supplementary income.

What and Why Natural Farming?
Natural Farming makes agriculture sustainable and a viable profession. Natural methods are used to retain and improve soil health, control pests, and increase yields. Where applicable, we are able to produce our own seed, and natural fertilizers are created.
